Answer 1

Summer in Antarctica is similar to the Arctic in that both experience continuous daylight or midnight sun, with the sun shining day and night due to the Earth's tilt.

Step-by-step explanation:

The summer in Antarctica is similar to the summer in the Arctic in that both polar regions experience periods of continuous daylight. The answer to the student's question about how summer in Antarctica is like the summer in the Arctic is b) The sun shines day and night.

During summer at the poles, the sun remains above the horizon for 24 hours a day due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This phenomenon is known as the polar day or midnight sun and occurs at least once per year in both the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. While the sun's angle is lower, leading to moderate warmth, the extended daylight allows for rapid plant growth in the Arctic tundra and influences animal behavior and food availability.
